I am from Vernon Hills Illinois and my belief in self sufficiency and individuality growing up caused me to not just get a job starting my high school Sophomore year, but by the time Junior year started in high school I had a second job as well. Working hard for the satisfaction of knowing I have accomplished something is what I strive to embody every day. And my love of business only allows me great paths in which to walk and achieve this personal goal of mine. Never being satisfied with "just okay" or "good enough" or even second place really has driven me to learn and experience many great things. I have graduated with my Master's in Professional Accountancy along with Bachelor's in Accounting & Finance.
